Introduction
Once an organization identifies its human resource
needs through employment planning, it can begin
recruiting candidates for actual or anticipated vacancies.
Recruiting brings together
those with jobs to fill
and
those seeking jobs

employee
referrals
Current employees can be asked to recommend recruits.
Advantages:
the employee’s motivation to make a good recommendation
the availability of accurate job information for the recruit
employee referrals tend to be more acceptable applicants, more
likely to accept an offer, and have a higher survival rate
Disadvantages:
the possibility of friendship being confused with job performance
the potential for nepotism
the potential for adverse impact

Recruiting Sources
external
searches
Advertisements: Must decide type and location of ad,
depending on job; decide whether to focus on job (job
description) or on applicant (job specification).
Three factors influence the response rate:
identification of the organization
labor market conditions
the degree to which specific requirements are listed.
Blind box ads do not identify the organization.

Recruiting Sources
Employment Agencies:
public or state employment services focus on helping
unemployed individuals with lower skill levels to find jobs
www.careeronestop.org
private employment agencies provide more comprehensive
services and are perceived to offer positions and applicants of a
higher caliber
management consulting firms (“headhunters”) research
candidates for mid- and upper-level executive placement
executive search firms screen potential mid/top-level candidates
while keeping prospective employers anonymous

Schools, colleges, and universities:
may provide entry-level or experienced
workers through their placement services
may also help companies establish
cooperative education assignments and
internships

Job fairs:
attended by company recruiters seeking resumes and
info from qualified candidates
Virtual online job fairs could bring employers and job seekers
together online by logging into a specific Web site at a certain
time. Some sites use avatars as candidates and recruiters.

Recruiting Sources
Professional organizations:
publish rosters of vacancies
run placement services at meetings
control the supply of prospective applicants
labor unions are also in this category
Unsolicited applicants (walk-ins):
may provide a stockpile of prospective applicants if
there are no current openings

alternatives
Temporary help services:
temporary employees help organizations meet short-term
fluctuations in HRM needs
older workers can also provide high-quality help
Employee leasing:
trained workers are employed by a leasing company, which
provides them to employers when needed for a flat fee
typically remain with an organization for longer periods of time
Independent contractors:
do specific work either on or off the company’s premises
costs of regular employees (i.e. taxes and benefits costs) are not
incurred

A Global Perspective
For some positions, the whole world is a relevant
labor market. So, HR can recruit
home-country nationals when searching for someone
with extensive company experience to launch a product
in a country where it has never sold before
host-country nationals when a foreign subsidiary is being
established and HQ wants to retain control yet hire
someone with local market knowledge
candidates of any nationality, creating a truly
international perspective
